Op. 25 - Concerto for violincello and orchestra
1st movement : Prélude (8mn15)
2nd movement : Grave (7mn07)
3rd movement : Final (5mn24)
Concerto for violincello and orchestra
Creation : May 16th, 1946 by Orchestre National de France
Violincello: Jacques Neilz / Conductor: Eugène Bigot
This magnificent concerto gives the composer his appetite to magnify unexpected melodies, enriched with surprising orchestrations whose audacity is influenced by the work of Maurice Ravel. Like the great romantic concerti, the entire cello register is beautifully explored and pampered despite the technical difficulties of the score. On the other hand, this masterful concerto is intended for performers who have acquired a very high level of skills.
In each of the three movements, the concertante obligation of the cello is carried by an orchestral construction, whose colors and vibrant sonorities are worthy of a symphonic poem.
During his immense musical career, André Amellér has been able to nourish his creative spirit in contact with the greatest repertoires addressed, successively as a double bass player at the Paris Opera, then as conductor and director of a great National Conservatory. This explains it.
His cello concerto is the living expression of an atypical musician, whose style and writing honour 20th century music.
